Bug Description
For no obvious reason whatsoever it is now completely impossible for me to use APT. Furthermore it is completely impossible for me to report a bug with apport.

Increasing or disabling the cache limit made no difference.

Still looking and will update.

APT::Cache-start 200000000;
This works around the issue. I don't understand why I need to tell APT to allocate more than the default amount of memory to stop it segfaulting, but I do! There's a bug here somewhere.
The only change to the system that I can think of is that I have added netprio_cgroup to /etc/modules but that shouldn't make any difference.
